Date: 12.03.2012
Suzlon Group, the world's fifth largest wind turbine maker, has unveiled its latest turbine in the 1.5MW range focused on harnessing Class III, low-wind sites. The new turbine is specifically designed to deliver high efficiency and cost effective power generation even at low wind speeds, therefore increasing the size of the market and making wind power projects even more financially competitive than they are today.
The S8X, scheduled for launch in 2012, is designed specifically for the Indian market where the majority of potential lays in medium-to-low wind sites. The turbine is designed with advanced rotors, with diameters of 86.5 and 89 meters, and a tower height of 90 meters, which will bring improvements in energy yields of between 15 to 20 percent over the current S82 - 1.5MW offering in low wind conditions. Additionally, the S8X is designed specifically to operate in high temperatures, and to meet the current and future grid requirements in India.
The turbine is an evolution of the proven S82 - 1.5MW platform, with approximately 2,400MW in installations consistently delivering 97 percent plus availability (uptime). The new design also incorporates several key features from the S9X suite of turbines, helping to achieve higher reliability, improved power output, higher safety and improved lightening protection. Like the S9X, the new turbine offers an improved pitch and yaw system, hub assembly, main frame and other key components, ensuring easier maintenance, greater reliability and higher uptime.
Suzlon Group comprises of Suzlon Energy and its subsidiaries, including Repower Systems SE. Suzlon Energy is leader in wind energy in the India, which is world's fifth largest wind energy market. Its business model has range of services that include development, manufacturing, marketing, EPC project delivery and operations and maintenance of wind turbine generators around the world.
